I understand the thought of not wanting to fight anymore. Can you look at it not as a fight, but instead your brain is offering you an invitation to take some action?

Many of us have wanted to quit. But, darn! That ego of ours gets in our way and reminds us that we aren't quitters! So we pick ourselves up one more time and forge ahead.

Life is worth it. I wouldn't be here today if I didn't learn to believe that. Not every day will be light and happy and carefree, but I always believe there is hope that something each day will remind me that life is worth it.

Hugs to you and wishing you the courage to take another step towards healing.
